Participation

Since the beginning of the survey, 992 Child with Disability caregivers have participated in RAPID.

These analyses are based on responses collected from 8053 caregivers between the dates of April 06, 2020 and November 05, 2020. These caregivers represent a range of voices: 8.84% are Black/African American, 18.12% are LatinX, and 29.52% live at or below 1.5 times the federal poverty line. Proportions/percentages are calculated based on the item-level response rates, not out of the total sample size. The data for these analyses are not weighted.
